What are some good questions to ask my interviewers (CD + AD)? I am applying for an in-house gig. Should I even ask how they handled the Rona? 🤔

You could ask about when they plan on going back to the office and what working remotely has looked like for them.

Thank you!😊

I wouldn’t ask them about how they handled coronavirus unless this will actually affect your decision to work with them. You can probably find that info online or by searching the company name in this bowl, but my guess is they handled it just as terribly as every other ad agency in my city.

Asking this may come off as you wanting to hear gossip IMO. The interviewers will have to decide if they’re going to badmouth the company and since you’ll be a stranger, they’ll probably keep it light.

Ask how they plan to encourage collaboration within the team with everyone working remotely and what it would look like working closely with a team that has never met you in person. Ask what tools they use to collaborate virtually, how much they do team check ins and how they’ll navigate ensuring you’re in the loop on projects with not knowing who to reach out to / a team that won’t be comfortable reaching out to you with feedback. Ask how the team gives feedback and how much of your work is collaborative vs done in a silo/ e.g. what’s their process.

No problem!! Good luck!!

Don’t directly ask about how they’re handling COVID, but being knowledgeable enough to think through the business impact for the specific dept/LOB you’re applying to would be a good move.

Thank you so much!

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
